Chapter Eighty-Nine: Learning Ghosts

When Zheng Qing returned to the desk with the re-selected books, he did not complain to Xiao Xiao about how irritable and rude the octopus in the depths of the bookshelf corridor was, but immediately brought up the topic of not wanting to do it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Guess who I just saw!" he asked, leaning Mankiw's Rune Construction Principles to his lips, looking left and right, lowering his voice and excitedly.

"Lonely wanderer?" Xiao Xiao picked out Zhang Baliang's "Spells, Magical Changes and Magical Powers" from the new pile of books, flipped through them with great interest, and coped with it smoothly.

The Lone Prowler is a legend of the First University.

It is said to be a dead spirit, who once studied at the First University, and is an old-school student who admires hard work to make up for his shortcomings.

It worked day and night, lit the lamp and fought, used its energy as lamp oil, turned its mind into a wick, and spent its limited life in an infinite study career, and finally died of exhaustion and weakness because of exhaustion of energy, and died in front of the desk in the study room;

Ghost students come to note lonely children, have no friends, don't like to talk, haunt in every quiet corner, and endlessly do the homework assigned by the professor before his death. It's just that every time it finishes writing a page in its homework book, there is always an invisible eraser that erases every word it writes, leaving it in vain and unable to complete its homework.

It was as if the heavens were playing a malicious joke on it.

Because there are more students who meet ghosts on campus, this matter has gradually become true. In order to avoid secrecy, the students quietly gave the scholar an unofficial name - the lonely wanderer.

Of course, different colleges have slightly different versions of this final part of the story.

In Alpha Academy, the Lone Prowler often appears in the empty study room, occasionally writing the formula of the enchantment on the otherwise clean blackboard; in the Atlas Academy, the Lone Prowler kneels at the foot of the statue of the god all the year round, silently praying and prostrating; the Lone Prowler in the Starry Sky Academy occasionally lingers on the smell of disinfectant water in the school hospital; and the students of the Nine Colleges can only find this lonely scholar in the bookshelf maze of the Shushan Pavilion most of the time.

Some people say that it is a good sign to meet a ghost in the bookshelf maze, and there will be unexpected surprises when you take the exam.

It is also said that if you encounter a ghost, you should leave the library immediately, indulge yourself for a day, and don't repeat the mistakes of the ghost.

In any case, when you see a thin young man in a shabby robe with his back to you, kneeling on the ground doing his homework, in the depths of the bookshelf corridor, you must not come up to say hello, just bow and leave.

"If you talk to him, go to the cafeteria as soon as possible to borrow some salt water and rinse your mouth. Xiao Xiao shook his head, looked at Zheng Qing, and frowned: "You do look a little bad." ”

Zheng Qing turned his head, spat a few times on the floor, clasped his hands together, and prayed continuously: "Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wu Ji...... Have you had your brain gnawed by bookworms? How can you mention it in the library?"

Zheng Qing raised his head, smiled at Xiao, and glared angrily.

"Okay!" the watermelon-headed boy raised his hand helplessly, indicating surrender: "Then who did you just see? Don't tell me it's the principal of the school...... Someone once said that he had seen the headmaster in the depths of the school's bookshelf, is it true?"

"What a mess. Zheng Qing sighed weakly and quietly pointed behind him: "Over there, in front of the desk by the window, those two people, look at them!"

He emphasized the latter two words.

Xiao Xiao raised her eyelids and glanced at them.

"Ah...... Nicholas and Liu Feifei. The short boy retracted his gaze casually, reopened his notebook, licked the brush, and sneered: "I've seen them a long time ago, what's so strange about this." ”

"Sooner or later, you're going to be a learner. Zheng Qing cursed viciously, but couldn't help but prompt: "Shouldn't you think a little more?

"Who knows...... They're not like you, they come to the library every day. Xiao Xiao shook his head indifferently: "What else can you do when you come to the library, of course, it's to read books and study." ”

"Doomed to a lonely life. Zheng Qing sighed repeatedly.

"You want to say they're in a relationship?" Xiao Xiao raised her eyelids and glanced at him.

"Ha!" Zheng Qing finally heard the answer he wanted, and waved his fist vigorously, with an excited face: "I knew that there was a situation between the two of them, Duan Xiaojian told me when I was wandering a few days ago!"

"So," Xiao Xiao straightened up and looked at him squarely, "What does this have to do with you? You have time to care about other people's gossip, you might as well worry about your own troubles." ”

"I'm in trouble. Zheng Qing looked dazed.

"McKing Cyprace, Arthur Ness, the night watch of Linzhong Lake on the weekend," Xiao Xiao pointed his fingers and complained mercilessly, "If you add the survival of your elves in a week, and the contract between Xin Fatzi and Zhang Jixin...... You don't think you're in trouble?

"Huh......" Zheng Qing looked innocent: "Blame me?"

"Maybe it really has something to do with you. Xiao Xiao narrowed her eyes thoughtfully: "This kind of physique that attracts disasters and disasters is not without precedent. ”

"I'm a real Nine Haves student. Zheng Qing hurriedly explained: "Don't use Atlas's godly theories on me. ”

"I don't think you're a real nine," Xiao Xiao habitually retorted, "A real nine person would never cause so much trouble...... I think you're probably better suited to the environment of the Star Academy. ”

"Where there are fights every day?" Zheng Qing had a spare expression: "I'd rather go to Alpha Academy." ”

"Then you'll die faster. Xiao looked at him mockingly: "Have you forgotten the fact that you have offended almost all the big guys in Alpha Academy?"

"Alas...... There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain," Zheng Qing pinched his teeth, glanced at the two people who were tired of being together by the window, and squeezed his eyebrows and said: "The love is naturally strong in the depths." ”

Xiao Xiao ignored his actions and changed the subject.

"As you said before, the professor's treatment was not thorough...... In other words, your elves are only temporarily awake right now?"

Xiao Xiao buried her body behind the wide desk, revealing only one head and two arms.

He lazily flipped through a large reference book, and summarized without raising his head: "So, you are hanging the lives of a group of elves for the price of twelve golden beans a week...... If they are lucky enough to survive for half a year, then the gold they cost is probably much heavier than theirs. ”

"In fact, Dr. Duzem said that the drug resistance of 'Yu Yuan Scattered' is very strong, and it is estimated that after two or three doses, it will not be able to continue to prolong life. Zheng Qing shook his head in distress and sighed: "I still need to find other ways to continue their lives." ”

"Retribution. Xiao Xiao sneered, raised his head and looked at the roommate opposite: "For wizards, although they can't say Chengxian, they are also restrained in the dark...... Oaths or something, can you just talk nonsense?"

"I don't regret saving them. Zheng Qing stiffened his neck and stared at the watermelon head, emphasizing: "I'm just worried about what to do later." ”

Xiao Xiao avoided his gaze, lowered his head again, and only spoke again after a while: "At present, the most likely thing you can obtain is that Dr. Duzem's 'Philosopher's Stone'. ”

"I first came to you today to discuss this matter. Zheng Qing tugged at his hair with some worry: "I don't have a clue at all." It's not good to continue to trouble Jiang Yu. ”

"Take Lin Guo to his house and try it. Xiao Xiao quickly took notes and casually suggested, "Maybe the common language of alchemy can be more harmonious. ”

Zheng Qing's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.

"You two!"

A voice rang out nearby, interrupting the small seminar behind the desk.

The two young men, who were discussing how to curry favor with Dr. Douzem, looked up blankly and saw an old wizard with a straight face and a clipboard.

"What are you doing in the library?!" the old wizard grimaced.

"Read. Zheng Qing looked at the old wizard blankly, scratched his head, looked at Xiao Xiao again, and added, "What else can the library do." ”

"I remember you!" the old wizard waved the clipboard angrily, and the quill pens that had been dancing on the board were caught off guard, floating in the air.

"I just fished you out of the bookshelf maze half an hour ago, can't you read the books for a while? This is the library, not the conference room!" the old wizard glared at the two young men and reprimanded in a low voice: "Go downstairs or outside the library to discuss problems!"

Xiao Xiao nodded quietly and didn't say a word.

"We didn't disturb the others," Zheng Qing protested, "There are only two tables in this corner...... It's also our classmates over there, and they can testify. ”

Zheng Qing turned his head and looked at the desk next to the floor-to-ceiling window.

By the window, Nicholas smiled and waved at him.

Zheng Qing had a bad thought in his heart.

"Some classmates complained that your discussion affected his reading. I have just been standing next to you for five minutes to confirm that this complaint is correct. The administrator put on a straight face and issued an expulsion order: "Now, today, I must ask you out." ”

Zheng Qing had a toothache on his face.

Who knows when the old wizard was standing behind them.

"What about him?" Zheng Qing pointed at Nicholas indignantly: "He is in love in the library!"

"They're learning. The administrator said in a non-critical tone, "Now, get out of here or I'll register your student card." ”

The two young wizards grabbed their books and walked away with their evictions from the administrator.
